when_you're_smiling Posted 28 March 2019 Posted 28 March 2019 I used to work for Reach (or Trinity Mirror as it was then) so have some understanding of the pressure the journalists have on them. I got out when they started proposing targets and league tables for journalists based on how many clicks they get - hence all the click bait. They have screens in the office telling them what are the most successful stories across the whole of Reach and instructed to rip it off as much as possible for their own sites. I did a bit of that which was depressing enough. The thought of targets and getting bollocked if you’re towards the bottom of the table for not writing ‘you’ll never guess what’ headlines was bad enough. To be fair as well, Leicestershire Live is nowhere near as bad as some of the other sites like the ones they have in Liverpool, Manchester etc. They even take a transfer rumour between two clubs they have no connection with and will put a headline like ‘Man United transfer boost’. They then try to make it out that one player being linked with another club means a completely different player is more likely to move to United.
